Liquid collection system having an anti-septic member on the discharge section

Abstract

A liquid collection system comprising, a drainage container having a chamber for collection of liquid therein, and a flexible tubular section communicating with a lower portion of the chamber. The system has a clamp on the tubular section for releasably closing the tubular section. The system also has an antiseptic device secured to an outer end of the tubular section, with the device having an annular wall defining a cavity, at least one well for capturing liquid adjacent an outer end of the cavity, and a pocket for capturing liquid adjacent an inner end of the cavity. The device has a capsule in the cavity containing an antiseptic agent.

I claim: 
     
       1. A urine drainage collection system, comprising: a drainage container having a chamber for collection of liquid therein;   a flexible tubular discharge section having an outer end in fluid communication with a lower portion of said chamber for discharge of collected urine;   a clamp on said tubular section for releasably opening and closing the tubular section; and   a tubular anti-septic device means containing an antiseptic capsule in fluid communication with the outer end of the tubular discharge section, said device having an annular wall and inner and outer sections forming a cavity to contain said antiseptic capsule, base portion means at the outer end of said tubular device means forming at least one well portion, said well portion acting to trap minor portions of urine when urine is discharged from said container chamber, a pocket means formed by projections at the inner section of the tubular device to act as a barrier trap against the passage of urine back to the collection bag when the antiseptic device and the flexible tubular discharge section are inverted from a discharge condition to a storage condition.   
     
     
       2. The system of claim 1 wherein the device has a plurality of wells adjacent the outer end of the cavity. 
     
     
       3. The system of claim 1 wherein the device has a plurality of inwardly directed ribs in the cavity. 
     
     
       4. The system of claim 1 wherein the device has a plurality of openings above the wells intermediate the ribs. 
     
     
       5. The system of claim 1 wherein the pocket extends circumferentially around the cavity. 
     
     
       6. The system of claim 1 wherein the capsule has a liquid pervious wall, and in which the antiseptic agent is retained inside the wall.
